Frequently asked questions about Swift documentation

Does it support both Swift Package Manager and CocoaPods?

Yes. Codec8 detects Package.swift for SPM projects and Podspec files for CocoaPods, generating the correct installation instructions for each integration method.

Can it document SwiftUI view hierarchies?

Yes. For SwiftUI projects, Codec8 documents View structs, their parameters, and preview setups, plus generates visual component hierarchy descriptions.

Does it handle Swift concurrency (async/await, actors)?

Yes. Codec8 recognizes async functions, actor types, and Sendable conformances introduced in Swift 5.5+ and documents their concurrency characteristics explicitly.
